Razor: Gillette Guard Single Blade Cart.
Blade: Gillette Guard (1)
Pre shave oil: Homemade
Latherroraso Green
Brush: VDH Badger

I`m giving my Personna a break, at least for awhile. With this little plastic cartridge, I have managed to come out with a BBS or better. No matter at what angle you use, it will always go to 25 degrees on your face. No guesswork. Neat for beginners like me. No kidding, it will surprise you! A 2 pass, WTG/ATG, XTG and a little more clean up time and you`re home free. A smooth, close, clean shave for a Happy Camper, wishing the same for all, God Bless.

An inspired shave by @Enrico .

Great shave with the tech. I need to remember to use a more aggressive blade. But bbs smooth with a few extra passes

 

DeHaven Diplomat, Schick Pro-line AC blade, AOS Sandalwood. More care required than using a standard injector razor but a very fine two pass BBS shave. Diplomat requires the @twhite adapter.

Gillette Single Ring Razor
Treet Carbon Black Beauty Blade
Erskin K-250 Badger Brush
Love My Skin Sailor's Spice Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Old Spice After Shave

I don't know why I didn't think of this at an earlier time, but I transferred this soap to the Old Spice mug as it is their version of the after shave. Did my usual two passes with a little touch up and was rewarded with a very nice and smooth BBS shave.

Nice Paladin Chris. I wish that Ken would make more traditional stock brushes in this style as well as beehive. While they are nice to look at, the fancy-colored stocks he is using lately just don't do it for me. Honestly, I am not sure that they will have the longevity of popularity. Kind of like Disco.

Today's shave was with a Boston made razor. I had good 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Zero issues. This is a very sharp razor, but for some reason, it just feels off. I might take it back and refinish it on a few finishers, and see if that wakes it up.

Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Florida Water
